... but add an extra point if you are a fan of witchcraft :-)
The book is about -- and aimed at -- sixteen year old girls.
There's a lot of angst over gossip, boyfriends, who is dating who.
Though, as a modern book, no-one is judged for whether or not they are having sex.
There's also a strong flavour of "witch-fulfilment" -- that's where you are told how fantastic life could be if only you were a witch.
It's all verging on nonsense --- but despite that it is surprising good.
On the con side, the end is a bit rushed and rather deus ex machina.
On the pro side: the mysterious curse is both dealt with quite well -- and it is truly horrible.
